A little bit unrelated, but how do people deal with the abstinence of payloads in zig errors? For example, when parsing a JSON string, the error `UnexpectedToken` is not very helpful. Are libraries typically designed to accept an optional input to store potential errors?
Thank you all for these great and detailed explanations, I've learned a lot! I like the approach with an optional pointer, it fits to zig's philosophy quite well. Although there's a bit of a disconnect between the unadorned error and the corresponding data struct. I could imagine it requires care when the data struct is a union, as one needs to know which error corresponds to which variant.

I'm a bit concerned when library authors only test it with blocking Io and the consuming app with a different kind. Wouldn't this potentially lead to bugs?
Hi, ast-grep author here. thanks for sharing the video!
production quality is amazing! I also did some youtube video recently. It is not easy and end product is far from polished.
Really appreciate your help introducing the tool to more people, thanks!
Thank you! I found ast-grep to be really useful, I hope more people will discover it!
I wish companies would adhere to a consistent naming scheme, like <name>-<params>-<cut-off-month>.
